Hard to believe the day before it was a fairly bright and mild day in our garden as the photos previous to this film show. Thank goodness this magical snow didn't stay too long. I hastily put bags and plastic containers over the most vulnerable plants which were removed only hours later when the snow clouds moved on. Whew! Garden saved!

This plant seemed to have seen better days some months ago. As it is a plant that likes to spread itself around naturally and we have such a small garden, I thought it should stay in a pot, which I regretted when I saw it growing dry and pale. But as you see it's none the worse for wear as it's come back with a nod and a wink!

The Primroses I planted last year have now come back with an even greater aplomb than I expected!Not as colourful as I recall the first blooms were but still just as welcome and much more rounded plants thanks to my snail and slug catchers which I dread to use - but a gardener's gotta do what a gardener's gotta do!

Our little garden is literally a do-it-yourself affair. Actually it's a do-it-itself on the whole. Since we moved in a little over a year ago we haven't had much time to plant but that hasn't stopped the garden from doing it's best on it's own which is pretty impressive considering.
